Why is being 'in Christ' important for Christians?
Answered in 6 sources
Being 'in Christ' is essential because it is the basis for salvation, freedom from condemnation, and righteousness (Ephesians 1:3-4).
Being 'in Christ' signifies the believer's union with Him, which is foundational for salvation and righteousness. As stated in Ephesians 1:4, God chose believers in Christ before the foundation of the world. This union with Christ means that believers receive His righteousness and are no longer judged for their sin. They are considered dead to the law and alive in the Spirit, resulting in freedom and assurance of eternal life, free from condemnation.
